🖥️ ASUS Designo MX27AQ 2560X1440 Frameless Monitor: Sleek & Stunning Display Review

Was looking for an external MacBook Pro monitor to use as my "TV" (since I don't "seriously" watch - maybe movies every few weeks or so). I have a 27 inch WQHD model. Works great as a display for a MacBook. The picture is very sharp and clear and works immediately without having to make any adjustments to the laptop or the display. I've connected it via both HDMI and Display Port on Thunderbolt, and there doesn't seem to be any difference in functionality between the two. From a distraction…

I feel like I have to balance the overwhelmingly positive reviews for this monitor because people should definitely be aware of some issues with this monitor. This is the same IPS display used in the Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27-inch LED-backlit screen. Monitor. This is a very good IPS display. However, if you read Dell's reviews, you'll see that this display has some backlight issues. I sent back the first Asus MX27AQ because of quite a bit of backlighting, particularly in the top left corner…

I originally bought two 1080p 27" MX279Hs for a dual monitor setup in February 2016. The incident where my cat spilled a cup of water on one of them caused it to fry a couple of weeks ago. Since me Liked the monitor I decided to replace it with an updated MX27AQ aka the 1440p version. So right now I have a 27" MX279H at 1080p and a 27" MX27AQ at 1440p. The pictures below are for your reference. Below I write about some of the comparisons I made between the two monitors and my thoughts on both…

First let me say that for the last 4 years I have used a 32 inch Samsung TV with an IPS panel as my primary display. Why? Because IPS is great, it reproduces 100% of the color spectrum, and IPS only has a few panels on the market today. I have lost hope in humanity. I have recommended the 1080p IPS versions of these Asus monitors to friends because they were nice, but I had no real reason to upgrade to one as my TV was/is 1080p. Bought this.as a gift from my wife.for Christmas this…

The monitor arrived in a Revain box measuring 36 inches long by 13 ½ inches deep by 22 inches wide. The ASU box is 27 inches long, 5 inches deep, and 21 inches wide, so there was enough room to protect the monitor if only Revain had put more packaging in the shipping carton. I give you these sizes. So if you're transporting, shipping, etc., this better prepares you for the vehicle/crate, etc., size you need, or prepares you for what you need. I opened the box and found some wrapping paper.…

Beautiful (actually stunning) colors with gradations, tints, nuances and detail unmatched by any other monitor before, including (today) the HP ZR30w they sit next to. In fact, that's the only problem: the MX27AQ makes the ZR30w - a professional 2560x1600 monitor - look blurry and dirty by comparison. Bought two for a triple array and the shipment arrived on time and in perfect condition. The bezel is very narrow and perfect for a multi-monitor setup. The base is metal, solid and durable, and…

If you need a display with 4 HDMI inputs, then this is for you. Not me. I just wanted a display for a 2012 Mac mini. That's fine, but to get 2560 x 1440 resolution, you'll need a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort (full-size) cable. (I ordered a CableMatters cable with a display.) If you switch from HDMI to HDMI, you only get 1920 x 1080 from the Mini. The display isn't borderless. There's a black "border" about 1/4" across the sides and top, but not the bottom. The bottom edge of the display area

Overview for gamers. I've only had the monitor for a few days, but I'm very satisfied. No dead pixels or monitor issues upon arrival. As I was a bit worried about the 5ms response time, I compared the monitor alongside the BenQ rl2755hm monitor with a 1ms response time. I couldn't tell any noticeable difference, and knowing I'm much more into single player than any competitive multiplayer game, response time wasn't an issue compared to how much brighter and more attractive the ASUS panel is…
